Up until then, the dog appeared to show signs of consciousness by lifting its head but unfortunately, the dog's health deteriorated and was pronounced dead upon arriving at the emergency facility.

Animal hospital A who had tended to the golden retriever commented, "The dog had suffered from cardiac arrest." And stated, "We don't know the exact cause of death unless an autopsy is performed but it looks like it had suffered from lung hemorrhage, with extensive bleeding."

Hearing the news rather late, the owner dashed to the hospital and checked the condition of the dog and broke down uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, the road traffic authority mentioned that in order to prevent further hit&run incidents, the person behind the wheel must be alert at all times and advised that domesticated animals should always wear a collar and leash.
